5.00This experience is fun and exciting. You will be visiting each stop by boat. The stops are exciting and very educational.
Great way to see the other Island and the reefs.

5.00Would recommend. Our boat looked newer than in the photo description. Great tour even though it rained.
Fantastic diving

5.00Fantastic diving experience! They were fast at getting your gear set up and making sure you had everything you needed. We did a wreck dive as well as a reef. Both were amazing and we saw small to large from nudibranches to black tipped sharks. The first dive site that we went to didn’t have great visibility and so they continued driving to make sure our dive was going to be perfect.
Disappointed.

1.00Our cruise ship changed ports on us and I was not able to reach either Viator or the vendor, so missed this tour completely.
I’d do this again in a heartbeat.

5.00This was the best excursion of the entire trip! Our pilot was a great host. Only six of us in the group so plenty of room and congenial company. The actual boat ride was great - spectacular scenery. We got rained on, splashed by the wake, and it was bumpy because of our high speed, and I loved every second. Learned a little at each stop. And the opportunity to shop for pearls and vanilla products. I will do it again if I m ever fortunate enough to return.
Great 3 Stops in Taha'a

5.00We opted for a half a day excursion from Raiatea to Taha'a and ended up being the only 2 people on board - I have asked in advance what we want to see and I said: vanilla farm, rhum distillery, coral garden (I have reviewed all 3 individual experiences separately) - and that's exactly what we ended up visiting - nothing more, nothing less :) we left around 8AM from marina on Raiatea, and returned about 12/12:30PM - it was perfect! The fee was 11,500XPF per person, so a bit higher than 9,800 XPF per their website but considering the private tour is listed at 49,500 and we did end up pretty much having one I cannot complain :) cash only The boat was nice, big (putting aside the fact that we were the only people on it other than the captain of course) and clean - I like some art pieces on it. Julian, the owners' son was our captain and also the lead during the coral garden free floating - spoke English and was very friendly and good with the coral garden instructions. I had some concerns during communication period about the tour itself, especially during the final couple days as it was during holidays in FP but it all worked out perfectly, exactly how we wanted so I can only say good things ultimately about it all.
Your was good, except it indicated lunch was included and there was only pineapple and water

4.00Captain and assistant were good. Group was half English speakers and have French. Captain only spoke in French, but has a passenger who spoke both and she translated for us.
Rip off at the vanilla plantation

2.00The guides were super nice n the boat ride to the other island was fun. The vanilla place was ok but what really got me was they ripped you off for their products. I don’t mind helping out the locals but don’t rip off the tourists. Paid for a vanilla paste n the next day we r in Papeete n for the same exact product it’s half the price for both the extract n the paste. Would never recommend going there. The pearl place was interesting but only went because it was part of the tour. Would definitely try something else if u go.
Wonderful experience!

5.00Loved this small group tour. We were part of a small group of ten, which made the experience even better. Julien, our captain and guide, was excellent. Traveling to Taha'a from Raiatea on a small boat made us feel that we were part of the islands. Both visits to the vanilla plantation and to the black pearl farm were interesting and showed signature aspects of Tahiti. Would highly recommend.
Stuff you probably never knew.

4.00A fun and scenic boat ride wrapped around an entertaining, learning experience on Tahaa. Everything you want to know about vanilla agriculture and processing. Also, amazing info and demonstrations about raising oysters that produce pearls.
